From Lewis County Sirens:
Police: Morton man tried to get friends out of work with bomb threat

A 24-year-old Morton resident arrested for allegedly threatening to blow up a lumber mill yesterday may have been trying to get his buddies a day off from work, according to police.
Police were called to Alta Forest Products at the north end of town about 8 a.m. following a phone call that prompted authorities to evacuate the premises and send employees home for the day.
Alta’s mill in Shelton was also vacated because they didn’t know if the threat was site specific, Morton Police Chief Dan Mortensen said this morning.
A bomb squad with the Washington State Patrol checked the property and found no explosive, Mortensen said.
Meanwhile, the chief traced the call back to a cell phone belonging to Marcus T. Dantinne, 24, of Morton. He was contacted at his residence on Collar Avenue at about noon, Mortensen said.
Dantinne doesn’t work at the lumber mill, nor was he a dissatisfied customer, according to Mortensen.
“It appeared he might have made the call because he wanted to hang out with some of his friends, and they had to work,” Mortensen said.
Dantinne was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail for making a bomb threat, a felony.

Didn't feel like starting a new post...

Anyway, while I was beating my brains out on a heavy back leaner I could have sworn I saw smoke coming off some of the wedges. I wasn't sure at first but it did happen several times, has any one else ever seen such a thing or am I finally loosing my mind completely?

Maybe they were getting hot and about to catch on fire.

Had it happen on a big Red Oak today.....I thought I was losing my mind! What a coinkidynk. I did have my first gas filled tree the other day, I have heard of it, but it was insane. White Oak....... And today I also had a Black Oak start its fall and popped a bowl shapeed starting to rot ball outta the center of the stump! Started to take my saw with it, but I hung on till the last minute. My partner happened to be videoing it while it happened...........that's not one you want to be remembered by! I HATE Black Oaks, kinda like sheep..............born looking for a reason to die! (You PNW guys refrain from the sheep jokes)

[KYLogger]

What in gods name is a "montukian"?? LOL

 

[northmanlogging]

a yocal from montana... generally a sheep herder...

 

[KYLogger]

soooooo...............you all just have to throw in the Kentucky references huh? We're not all inbred ax murder's.......

 

[northmanlogging]

Its like saying all politicians aren't liers... Not all montukians are sheep herders, some are cattle ranchers, or oilfeild hands, and then there are a few that are loggers... but being as I'm from Wyoming everyone from Montana is a sheep shagger, it works the other way as well.

 

[KYLogger]
